Private lifestyle with serious income potential

Set at the very end of the road, this substantial lifestyle property offers a level of privacy, space and flexibility that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Set across 1.87 hectares, the property combines a spacious family home, extensive recent improvements, a large inground swimming pool and three additional self-contained dwellings.

The 295sqm brick main residence offers five bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with significant investment made into improving the home. A standout feature is the approximately $300,000+ extension, creating a new kitchen and scullery complemented by skylights that bring natural light into the space. The interior has also been freshly painted, while the driveway has recently been concreted, adding to the property's overall presentation.

Outside, a large inground swimming pool with newly installed glass fencing provides a great setting for family living and entertaining, with the surrounding land offering plenty of room to enjoy the lifestyle.

Three additional dwellings - Multiple possibilities Adding another dimension to the property are three self-contained dwellings, currently occupied by the owners' children. Two operate off-grid, each with its own solar system and water tanks, while the third is connected to the main power grid.

For buyers looking to accommodate extended family, provide independent living arrangements or explore additional income opportunities, this setup offers considerable flexibility. The additional dwellings also present potential for rental income, subject to applicable council requirements, building compliance and permitted use.

The owners advise that the additions to the main residence have the required consents. The three additional dwellings are not consented, and buyers should undertake their own due diligence regarding their status, compliance and any applicable exemptions.

A property ready for its next chapter Having called this property home for more than two decades, the current owners have made substantial improvements and created a property that caters to a range of lifestyle needs. With their next move now secured, the opportunity is here for a new owner to make the most of what has been established.

Whether you are searching for a private lifestyle retreat, space for an extended family or a property with the potential to generate additional income, 261 Wright Road deserves your attention.

1.87 hectares. Five-bedroom family home. Three additional dwellings. Exceptional privacy.

A unique lifestyle opportunity with plenty of possibilities.

Our estimate$2,080,000

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
